Delta showed us their new, lie flat seats last night. The Business Elite seats will roll out to all international flights by 2013. Including Seattle, the seats are now on 40% of all flights.

As a traveler, this is good news and a welcome update. Flights to Asia and Europe on a 767 usually mean a night of sliding down the seat or trying to prop yourself up. The seat also includes a new pop-out tray and personal video. It doesn’t have much storage and is slimmer than the currents seats. I noticed the snug fit right away, but will take the flatness over more room.
